Chapter 316
No way.
Even Leon, as gentle and noble as he is, was aroused by the desire to win.
Not to mention Christ.
But according to James's cold nature, it was impossible for her to say this simply to mock them.
Then there is only one explanation.
He may well have suffered a defeat at the hands of this woman.
Christ glanced at Selena, who had her brows lowered and her eyes focused on the cards in front of her,
looking completely unconcerned about the reminder James had given them.
Is it so confident that she thinks it doesn't matter?
Or maybe she's playing too hard to focus on anything else?
Whatever the reason, it did not prevent Christ from indulging and loving Selena.
It looked like the girl was a lot more interesting than he had thought she would be.
The corners of Christ's lips curled.
When the second game started, Selena raised her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall, 4:20.
Forty minutes, four innings, just the right amount of time.
Selena raised her hand, rubbed her neck and said wanly, "Go on."
...
And at this moment, inside the castle, Osvaldo stood straight, standing on the steps, looking in the
direction of the gate.
Selena would never initiate a text message to him if she was fine.
But the fact that she has and perversely texted him can only mean that she must have come across
something.
She came across things and wouldn't tell him.
He lowered his long eyelashes to hide the dark, sinister aura under his eyes.
If he hadn't been sure that Selena wasn't in any danger, he certainly wouldn't have stood patiently
waiting here, but would have gone straight out to find her.
Osvaldo glanced at the time on his phone.
4:20.
He waited until five o'clock, it would be an hour since Selena had texted him, and if Selena did not
return, he would go out and find her himself. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
...
The second set ended soon.
Selena didn't win, but Christ and Leon didn't lose either.
This would really be too far-fetched if it were to be described as mere coincidence or Selena's good
luck.
Christ stared at the cards in his hand, his gaze somewhat heavy.
Leon was staring at his cards, thinking, and after a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Selena.
Only James, who was sitting behind Selena and watching her, knew that Christ originally had a chance
to win, but Selena would rather not win herself than let Christ win the game, thus putting the game off.
If she can't win, neither can her enemies.
This girl is tough.
James snorted.
How could the wife whom Osvaldo had married really be any kind of virtuous person?
Those who think that Selena is weak and can be bullied are really stupid.
As with the last development, from the third game onwards, Selena started to win.
And since she took the dealer's seat, she didn't come back down until the fifth game.
In a total of five games, the boss lady won one, lost one and Selena won three. Christ and Leon, the
two famous science geniuses of the capital, suffered the biggest lost ever.
Everyone in the room, watching Selena go from a rookie to an invincible myth, was so stunned that
they lost their words.
If Selena continued to win, the boss lady would have lost over a million in four games.
The boss lady was distressed and flustered, and looked at Christ, asking tentatively, "Mr. Poole, Mr.
Riddle, shall we stop here?"
She lost money, these two young master lost their dignity.
Surprisingly, Christ's face was not the least bit unhappy, and the look in Selena's eyes was instead
more interested, "How did you manage to do that?"
For the first time, someone was able to get him lost all the game, which was a pretty fresh feeling.
Selena arrogantly lifted her chin, "You lost."
Christ was indeed a big figure, and before he had figured out Selena's routine, he knew that he could
not possibly win against Selena at the mahjong table, so he did not dwell on it.
Just in his eyes was another hint of appreciation than before, "You win."
Selena picked up her bag and turned to leave.
Christ's eyes sank slightly, "Wait."
Selena looked back at him, smiling, "What? Want to go back on your word?"
Christ pursed his thin lips, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he only said, "I have no
ill will towards you."
Selena smiled expressionlessly, an icy mockery in her eyes.
No ill will?
He and Isabel combined were enough to kill her several times, and now he's saying to her that she
meant her no harm?
There was probably no bigger joke in the world than this.
Selena looked at the two black-clad bodyguards who were guarding the door like wooden stakes,
raised her hand and pushed them, smiling coldly, "Didn't you hear your master's words? Get out of the
way."
The two black-clad bodyguards looked at each other.
They all knew that Christ had searched for this girl for a long time and had found her now, yet they
didn't even ask her name and just let her go so easily.
Probably because of their distaste for Isabel, almost all of Christ's men wanted Christ to take Selena
back.
After all, this girl is so much better than Isabel.
With her around, Christ will definitely not spoil Isabel, or at least make that woman less of a problem.
But Christ lost to Selena?
The two men eventually gave way with regret.
Selena stomped on her high heels and walked away all elegant and dainty.
The box.
Leon said with a smile, "The girl is quite bratty."
Bratty but not savage, and vindictive.
Leon seemed to think of something and his eyes sank.
Christ stared at the direction Selena had left, and only after a long time did he withdraw his gaze and
look at James, "You really only stepped in to defend her for the sake of Luke?"
Although he didn't ask for Selena's name, she revealed enough clues that it was more than enough.
Close to Olympus Group and Luke, dislikes Riddle's family and has a deep hatred for Isabel.
Such a person is not often seen in Creephia.
A name flashed through Christ's mind, but it was quickly denied by him.
He had seen Selena's profile and she was very different from this girl, both in looks and in
temperament.
James asked rhetorically, "You like her?"
"Sort of," Christ's eyes were deep and he smiled, "I came to Creephia this time because I wanted to
bring her back."
The fact that Selena would be let go so easily today did have a bit to do with James, but James was
not the main cause.
The main thing is that the young girl is so repulsed by him that if she is pushed, she may make a mess
of it.
He should probably ask Isabel what she had done to that girl to provoke her to resist him so much.
A faint chill swept across Christ's eyes.
He hadn't even noticed it himself, but his patience with Selena was astonishingly good.
